What skip_list_sim does on UnClick
AI agents invoke skip_list_sim to trigger actions in UnClick. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
search | array | — | Values to search for |
values | array | Yes | Values to insert |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why skip_list_sim is rated High
The tool simulates a data structure by executing insertion and search operations in memory. It runs a computational process (simulation) rather than simply reading existing data or writing to persistent storage. No data is destroyed, no money is moved, and no external systems are affected, making Execute the appropriate category.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs skip_list_sim safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For skip_list_sim, this is the rule to start with:
skip_list_sim stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every skip_list_sim call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about skip_list_sim
Simulate a skip list: insert values, get sorted output, and search for elements in O(log n) expected time. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the UnClick MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
skip_list_sim accepts 2 parameters: search, values. Required: values. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the UnClick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for skip_list_sim: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches UnClick. Nothing to install.
skip_list_sim is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the skip_list_sim rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for skip_list_sim. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
skip_list_sim is provided by the UnClick MCP server (@unclick/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
